About the topic: Hero-san to Moto Onna Kanbu-san or HeroKan is a series that belongs to the Yuri and Tokutatsu genres at the same time. A rather rare topic when the Yuri genre goes with Tokutatsu. About the art and character design: - The series has a fairly generic drawing style, but not too bad so it can still be read without being annoying. - The female characters are very cute, with each having their own distinctive appearance and costumes. The design of the armor of the protagonist and antagonist is very cool, with a strong Kamen Rider style. (Fun fact: Although many people say that Rapid Rabbit'sarmor is similar to Kamen Rider Build, the drawings were made before Kamen Rider Build was announced. Both were in 2017) About the plot: The series does a relatively good job in the development of the characters' emotions, but it is only acceptable because the number of chapters is quite short so it does not explore deeply enough. If the number of times the main couple interacted with each other could be increased, it would be more convincing. And like many Toku series, the ending is quite predictable, such as using friendship or the power of love to defeat the antagonist. About the characters: - Protagonist: The main couple is quite adorable. The love story between a lonely hero and a former general is quite interesting and the journey is also very lovely. - Villain: Final boss X - is the boss of the villain organization, at first she is ignorant and quite stupid, but later on she is revealed to be an extremely scheming person. But when she admits that she also loves Honey Trap, it is quite hasty and unconvincing. Loving someone just because they are also lonely is quite :V (nothing to say). Cool Down is a general under X, when X is most helpless, she is the one who helps X take the final step to destroy humanity. Cool Down can be seen as more of a final boss than X. This type of person is also not unfamiliar to Toku viewers, the commander or boss is not really that strong or powerful, but thanks to someone pulling the strings or transmitting power, they become the final obstacle. Melt Down and Kyouka are a supporting couple of this manga, at the end of the story, they turned around and helped the main character to protect the planet. If there were more scenes of them interacting with many things around Earth or with humans, it would be more reasonable. Overall, there are many criticisms of the villain, but if you are an easy-going person or watch for fun and to kill time, this is a quite interesting manga with a new and interesting theme.
The Antinoids are a mysterious race of monsters who have secretly come to Earth in order to conquer it. While most of the population remains unaware, the heroine Rapid Rabbit fights against these evil fiends. In a particularly tough battle, Honey Trap—one of the Antinoid's Executive Officers—sees Rapid Rabbit without her mask and learns her true identity. But just as she obtains the upper hand, Honey Trap flees with a flushed face, confusing Rapid Rabbit. As it turns out, Rapid Rabbit is Honey Trap's ideal type. Returning to her organization with nothing but a new crush, Honey Trap is exiled from the Antinoids and left with nowhere to go. Roaming the lone streets, she is eventually rescued by none other than Rapid Rabbit after collapsing near her apartment. Having no one else to turn to, Honey Trap decides to team up with Rapid Rabbit and get revenge on the Antinoids. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
This turned out way better than I expected from a "yuri tokusatsu". A short Yuri Hime serialization that hits all the beats of a Kamen Rider style plot line while parodying it. It's a comedy, so it doesn't take itself too seriously except when it comes to the main pairing and love. Good pacing and good art, too, with some good action. I do wish we could see more of the suits, though. They aren't my favourite and the designs may be a bit too convoluted, but they are still fairly pretty. It's difficult to admire them in many of the denser action panels. Also, poor Moedidn't get much time to shine in an arc that was practically dedicated to her and her search for her own identity. It doesn't have to be 50 episodes long, but a few more chapters could have gone a long way. All in all, solid manga. Just wish it had more content to flesh out all the characters that bit more.
